Five Star Wealth Manager

Five Star Professional

The 2012 Five Star Wealth Managers were chosen by Five Star Professional, a third party research firm. The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed as an endorsement. The Five Star Wealth Manager program does not rate or rank advisers, but rather identifies wealth managers who satisfy objective eligibility and evaluation criteria. Wealth Managers do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list, and self nominations are not accepted. Candidates are identified and pre-qualified based on industry data and/or peer nominations.

Award candidates are evaluated against 10 objective eligibility and evaluation criteria including, but not limited to, education and professional designations, client retention rates, client assets administered, and a favorable regulatory and complaint history. There is no guarantee as to future advisory or performance success, nor is there any guarantee that the wealth manager will be
awarded this accomplishment in the future. 262 award candidates in the Baltimore area (less than 3% of the total wealth managers in the area) were named 2012 Five Star Wealth Managers.
